    Designing Programs with a Purpose: To Promote Civic Engagement for Life
    (6/1/2011) Bringle, Robert G.; Studer, Morgan; Wilson, Jarod; Clayton, Patti H.; Steinberg, Kathryn S.
    Curricular and co-curricular civic engagement activities and programs are analyzed in terms of their capacity to contribute to a common set of outcomes associated with nurturing civic-minded graduates: academic knowledge, familiarity with volunteering and nonprofit sector, knowledge of social issues, communication skills, diversity skills, self-efficacy, and intentions to be involved in communities. Different programs that promote civic-mindedness, developmental models, and assessment strategies that can contribute to program enhancement are presented.

    El Aprendizaje Basado en el Voluntariado Internacional: Un camino directo a las 5 C's: Comunicación, Comparaciones, Conexiones, Cultura, Comunidades
    (2011-03-15) Smith, Andrea Meyer; Antón, Marta; Tezanos-Pinto, Rosa; Garcia, Marta Garcia
    Esta investigación intenta entender mejor qué tipos de aprendizaje ocurren cuando los estudiantes toman parte en un programa de aprendizaje basado en el voluntariado internacional. Una meta es demostrar que las cinco C’s de ACTFL (comunicación, cultura, conexiones, comparaciones, y comunidades) son parte del aprendizaje percibido por los estudiantes después de haber participado en un programa de aprendizaje basado en el voluntariado en el extranjero. Otra meta es ofrecer un ejemplo de un programa que utiliza los métodos de auto-reflexión y auto-análisis recomendados en los estudios críticos del voluntariado y cómo estos métodos empujan a los estudiantes a alcanzar las cinco C’s de ACTFL, para que otros profesores tengan un modelo para crear sus propios programas de aprendizaje basado en el voluntariado internacional.

The second questionnaire was administered to the instructors who taught these courses. The courses were across multiple sections of FYS's, some were UCOL 110 sections, others were specific to schools. There were 356 students in the 13 sections of the course. All of the courses were held during the Fall 2023 semester.

    Growing NearWest: An Urban Community Gardens Pilot Project
    (2015-05-30) Napier, Pamela
    This is the story of the collaboration between Junior and Senior Visual Communication Design students, representatives from IUPUI’s Office of Neighborhood Partnerships and residents from four Near Westside neighborhoods in Indianapolis to develop, design and facilitate the creation of The Growing NearWest Urban Community Gardens Pilot Project: four distinct urban gardens in each of the four neighborhoods, creating a unique opportunity to foster community engagement, capitalize on existing assets, and build community capacity to address food access issues. The Near Westside needed help in envisioning, planning, designing and building these gardens, as well as the creation of a solid foundation to ensure their continued success. Within the senior-level "Designing People-centered Services" course at Herron School of Art and Design, IUPUI, the students conducted people-centered, participatory design research that included methods ranging from standard web and print-based exploration, to ethnographic research methods such as conducting contextual observation and interviews within the communities, and designing and facilitating engagements with community members using generative tools. This research informed the planning processes, design and development of the gardens. This experience through applied service-learning gave the students the opportunity to transform the way the neighborhood residents viewed engagement, working together, and even issues around food access. The process and methodology enabled citizens to actively participate in the planning and creation of something that would positively impact their way of life. This experience also gave the instructor an opportunity to facilitate the collaboration between diverse stakeholders in both higher education and local communities.

    Investigating faculty learning in the context of community-engaged scholarship
    (2012) Jameson, J.K.; Clayton, P.H.; Jaeger, A.J.; Bringle, Robert G.
    This study investigates faculty learning resulting from a faculty development program implemented at North Carolina State University to build capacity for community-engaged scholarship (CES). Previous work done under the auspices of Community Campus Partnerships for Health is extended by modifying an extant scale used to assess CES competencies and adding a retrospective pre-test to account for response-shift bias. This study also builds upon earlier work on assessment of student learning through the use of reflection by examining reflection products written by faculty at three points during the 12-month program. Quantitative analysis of responses to the CES competencies scale indicated a significant response-shift bias (participants overestimated their knowledge about CES at the start of the program). Qualitative investigation of participants’ reflection products suggests they learned new language for CES, achieved new discoveries about their community-engaged work, and often redefined their scholarly identities through the lens of engaged scholarship. Implications of this study include the value-added by examining faculty learning through reflection products as well as self-report scales, the need to build faculty capacity for learning through reflection, and the proposal of new strategies for documenting faculty learning from faculty development programs.

    The prevalence and nature of unrequited love
    (2013) Bringle, Robert G.; Winnick, Terri A.; Rydell, Robert J.
    Unrequited love (UL) is unreciprocated love that causes yearning for more complete love. Five types of UL are delineated and conceptualized on a continuum from lower to greater levels of interdependence: crush on someone unavailable, crush on someone nearby, pursuing a love object, longing for a past lover, and an unequal love relationship. Study 1a found all types of UL relationships to be less emotionally intense than equal love and 4 times more frequent than equal love during a 2-year period. Study 1b found little evidence for limerent qualities of UL. Study 2 found all types of UL to be less intense than equal love on passion, sacrifice, dependency, commitment, and practical love, but more intense than equal love on turmoil. These results suggest that UL is not a good simulation of true romantic love, but an inferior approximation of that ideal.
